MAC Quite Cute Collection Haul & Swatches

MAC Quite Cute Collection was launched today. I woke up with a big smile on my face, mainly coz I haven't shopped for so long (since my vacay). I decided not to buy any makeup for at least 6 months, but this doesn't count coz it's limited edition stuff ;p. But you know I'm right there.

Anyhoo, here's what I hauled:

Mineralize Blushes in Giggly & Sakura: They are also called Kawaii Baked Heart Blushes. "Kawaii" means "pretty" or "cute" in Japanese. I'm so glad that these aren't too shimmery.

Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum: A matte neon pink shade.

Photos & Swatches.....

MAC Mineralize Blush Giggly, Rs.1400 ~ Light Pink with pearly plum heart. I fell in love with this one from the first time I saw it. Giggly is such a cute name for it too! I want to give it a kiss *giggles*

Giggly Swatches ~ (L-R) Light pink, heart, light pink+heart

MAC Mineralize Blush Sakura, Rs.1400 ~ Lavender with pearly deep magenta heart. I have wanted a purple-toned blush for so long. MAC Coygirl blush is never in stock over here, so I really really wanted this one.

Sakura swatches- (L-R) Lavender, heart, lavender+heart

MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick (Matte), Rs.990 ~ This Neon Pink is the brightest pink lipstick I own now. It looks so yum! I love it!

I have been eyeing Giggly blush for so long now... but Im saving up for something else and after looking at these swatches... I feel like getting one SO badly... just hope that MAC Malaysia still carries it D: But still no idea whether will it be worth the price tag or not

Hey :) I need your help! I ordered a lipstick last week, and it is far too light for me (see name below). I am an Indian who is tan.what can I do to get the lipstick to match me? for it is very expensive, so I will not throw it ...

Anon- Since that lipstick is very creamy, gloss on top looks too much. I also have a pink one, which looks too pale. I use a darker lip liner & lipstick with it. I suggest you wear a matte lipstick or lip liner in a darker shade under it- U could pick plum, burgundy, red & brownish-rose. Mix and match to find the best combination :)

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3
